I saw your message/plea about Whitmore Academy. We were in the same situation as you last fall with our grandson--not knowing where to turn. He went there last fall and it was very hard for him to adjust at first. Now, he seems very happy there and seems to be doing okay. We keep hoping for a big turn-around, but we are still holding our breath. If nothing else, he seems safe and well-cared for--and it is a year where he won't be in trouble here.

Good Luck!

Hey Grandma, who referred your grandson into Whitmore?  And why in the world are you holding your breath for something that may or may not even happen?  BREATHE!!! And bring your grandson home.

I don't know anything about them but what's on their web page. Take a look:

http://homepage.mac.com/whoamidiscovery/whitmore.html

Their banner graphic at the top of the page says "Freedom through discipline" Yikes  :eek:
Is that like Arbeit Macht Frei?

I'd be interested to know about this place, though. Do they take involuntary placements? From the courts or only from parents? Are they licensed as a juvenile detention center? Do the students have normal, reasonable access to communications?

Who owns the place? Who works there? The web page only lists first names. http://homepage.mac.com/whoamidiscovery/staff.html That seems a little strange, don't you think?

Anybody know any of these things? If the person who started this thread is for real and doesn't know any of these very basic facts, then I hope to Christ they're not actually considering sending a loved one there.

A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trust either of them

Is that a report by a student/counselor w/ authority over other students? Or am I reading this wrong?

I went through the program at the whitmore academy, and I will say this, it is very hard for them to follow through on what they say. I have had a bunch of my things up at there lodge in Canada for a few years, and I keep calling them only to hear over and over that they have not made it up there, it has been about two years since i have left and still none of my things have been returned. I would not recommend this place to a parent looking for a place to send their child. I have worked for them as well, and when i had they kept telling me stuff like my parents did not want me to come home, when i had called my family on my cell phone they informed me that they had said none of that and they would love for me to return. In my, and my familes opinion these are not trust worthy people.

Well I'm very glad to hear that your family came out of it intact. So many of us had to choose, or continually have to choose, between our families and the Program.

So, what's the deal w/ this place? Did you ever write reports like the one I linked to? (is the link still good?) If so, who writes those? What can you tell me about how the program works?

Check out the parent's forum.  This whole link is about parents wondering why they are not receiving responses to e-mails they are sending to their kids.  One parent goes on to ask if the school is censoring the emails.  Now, wouldn't a responsible parent question any rules regarding communication with their kids prior to sending their kid to that school?
